Our Activities
The only topic on which the group is working is "governance at city-region level". In order to effectively exchange experiences and thus be able to draw relevant conclusions, we had to work on the basis of practical examples (case studies) and therefore to consider the unique theme through different aspects. Seminars are the basis of the common work and conclusions.
A seminar is organised in each of the partner cities. The working group think that it is essential:
- It allows partners to understand a little more each local reality, and to have a concrete insight - of the case study to be discussed during the seminar.
- It is an opportunity to meet Local actors of governance and interact with them.
- It is also a great opportunity to meet people from Local Support Groups and organise some working sessions between each of the LSGs and all WG members.
